Soyuz TMA-19 mission patch

During a visit to a school in the Moscow region on Wednesday, Roscosmos head Anatoly Perminov revealed the logo for the Soyuz TMA-19 flight to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is set to launch on June 15, 2010 with Russian commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and U.S. flight engineers Shannon Walker and Douglas Wheelock.

The design is based on a painting by 7-year Jevgeni Emelyanov from the Republic of Marij-El, as well as Yurchikhin's earlier Soyuz TMA-10 emblem. It depicts the TMA-19 spacecraft arriving at the ISS for docking, backdropped by a stylized image of the Mount Olympus -- Yurchikhin's call sign.
